The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

I haven't stopped thinking about The Reformatory by Tananarive Due ever since I finished it. What a beautifully-written, horrifying, and heartbreaking novel. The most horrifying part is that reformatory schools like this one really did happen. The worst of the horror is real.

The characters in the novel are so lovable and real, you can't help but root for them. I loved the depiction of sibling love and community care. I thought the portrayal of grief and spirits was beautiful and thoughtful. I just really adored this book. It's a painful but beautiful story, and I am so glad I finally read it.

Thank you to Saga Press for an eARC.
